Through the Eyes of a Memphis Mafia Wife; Jo Smith. Part1

I, (Sheri Lacker), sit down with Jo Smith and her husband Billy Smith, to talk about what it was like to be a wife of a member of Elvis’ entourage known as the Memphis Mafia as well as a member of Elvis’ family. Jo and Billy share some of their personal eyewitness stories about living life with Elvis Presley and other members of the inner circle as Jo did, from age 14 in the very early 60s until Elvis’ passing in 1977.

Elvis would have been thankful for all of the stories you share,Because he always said that people didn't know the real Elvis,But with your stories we know of who he really was!

[@kiethee]

Hi joe this was so interesting to hear from the wives point of view and what they went through as well at Graceland as you say sometimes it was not easy being around the guys all of the time you really had to get on otherwise it would not have worked can’t wait to hear some more of your memories of both families keep going you are doing a great job

[@MTknitter22]

what a weird weird situation for the wife of these guys

[@LaurieLT88]

Love this video. I remember Aunt Lorraine having the boys a lot. Being what I call a "band widow" myself, I sure can relate. It is a lot of little things people don't know you go through. My son had to have emergency surgery because he broke his arm. Gene had a show. I managed the band he was in at the time. It took me a year to get them booked at the place he had to play. So he had to go do the show. So I sat there in the surgery waiting room by myself waiting. It can be a lonely life for the wives. Oh and don't even get me started on the groupies. LOL

[@user-sg9uo9rz3k]

What a great interview. 😂❤

[@gracieg7601]

Sheri thanks for doing this with them.

[@sandralybrand9425]

I'm so happy you started this Sheri! It'll be great to see what the wives went through while the guys were off mostly having fun while the wives stayed home, but also all the good times and things that were great about that time in their life. I just Love Jo and Billy! But she's never talked about their life at that time in depth. Just subscribed soon as I clicked on,thank you again!

[@jonspagnolo787]

I love this! Thanks for doing this! I’ve liked and subscribed 🌹

[@lorrainelane6583]

You were lucky to have Elvis in your lives ...and he was lucky to have you both in his life

[@maritzadeolarte114]

Love you al! Greetings from Peru!

[@thememphismafia83]

Hello there!

[@kathysharpe7339]

Nice job. ❤️

[@lisawilkerson2289]

Jo is so beautiful!

[@MTknitter22]

Always wondered how the mafia guys lived - were they well paid? insurance? Did they have a work schedule or were they all in 24/7 call? These are the things people wonder about. We asked the long time tour guide when we went to Graceland. She had been there a long time. I am gonna listen here and see if this sweet couple says what we were told.

[@gpt465]

That would be hard as a wife to be left out of going with them! That probably didn't happen alot.Good video!

[@Pharoset]

When was this taped? 2022?

[@tobsje1238]

Yes, the Memphis Mafia guys, they all USED Elvis Presley when he was alive. After Elvis Presley died, they BETRAYED him in all those Memphis Mafia videos and books, telling stories about his PRIVATE life, stories that were NOBODY’S business, certainly NOT his fans. They threw Elvis Presley under the bus with their stories and they were making fun of him. They could have left when Elvis Presley was alive, but they stayed for the money and all the gifts he bought for them. Now complaining after he died is just AWFUL and DISRESPECTFUL. Lisa Marie Presley was right to break every connection with the so called Memphis Mafia. They were NOTHING without Elvis Presley.

Ponham legendas por favor Português 🤷‍♀️

[@thememphismafia83]

Vou tentar colocar tradução para o português.

[@janiceleighton7348]

Yes Elvis liked them young he was a lucky man in his day for that lol

[@escalvalen4491]

Cuanta gente vivió de elvis presley, cuanta garrapata viviendo del pobre chico

[@thememphismafia83]

Su comentario no es agradable. Las personas pagadas por Elvis tenían trabajos designados según los deseos de Elvis. No lo conocías ni a él ni a las personas que lo rodeaban.
